Photos of my just-completed WM20

Detail photos of my WM20, now completed and waiting for the weather to break for a test ride.

I could still use some advice on routing the wiring.

Jeff

All fasteners OEM replated cad photo IMG_2549.jpg

Dull chrome controls photo IMG_2562.jpg

Messy wiring and cables photo IMG_2559.jpg
32mm 10GP9 photo IMG_2552.jpg

Quick-detach 525 w/ brake light photo IMG_2554.jpg

The carb is a 10TT9 bored to 32mm and modified with a throttle stop adjustment. Engine is 712cc with alloy head. All fasteners are OEM or contemporary BSC, replated in cadmium. I was fortunate to find dull chrome controls and fork hardware. Rear Lucas 525 with brake light is set up for quick detachment in case the rivet counters find me. Not that there aren't other "artistic liberties" and plain old mistakes! Please don't refrain from pointing them out.

It still needs one passenger footrest and a C number for the tank.

I owe thanks and admiration to Ian, Ron Pier, Henk, Rik, Robb Nortier and the rest of you lot! Let's hope it doesn't nip up this time!

Hi Jeff, Your attention to detail is remarkable, a first-class job. Myself and three other guys have DR bikes in Maine. Lets get in touch. bobdukw@aol.com Bob

Very nice!! I really like the cadmium plated bolts and a very nice detail are the colorrings on your wiring.
Again very nice job!

Cheers,

Leon

ps when you have a first ride out, don't forget to open your oil stop!

Re: Photos of my just-completed WM20

Too posh. In all my years service I have never seen a bike looking that good, even when we got new ones but you have made an excellent job of it.

Re: Photos of my just-completed WM20

Well done Bob. I'll be interested to hear how it goes when the weather improves.
One small thing.....Since you asked. If your tank transfers are not glued to tightly.

The correct ones are here.

Re: Photos of my just-completed WM20

Great job Jeff, well done. I'm particularly interested that you bored out a 10TT9 to 32mm, and added a throttle stop Was. it complicated?

Re: Photos of my just-completed WM20

Duncan,

Little credit due me there.

Six years ago I bought the estate of an old guy who raced Gold Stars. There were truckloads of incomplete bikes and parts, including a box of AMAL GP and TT carbs. The largest 10TT9 appears to be 1 3/16, but most were 1 1/16" as used on the A10 RR. 3 were overbored to 1 1/4" or more, 2 of which I put aside for ZB and BB GS projects. This one looked right for my 712cc WM20, like a cartoon of a 289 all pumped up on steroids.

One of the TT's had a neat mod to stop the slide from complete closure from above, using a piece of spoke threaded into the cap from behind the cable, with the butt end engaging the hole in the slide for installing the cable. You can see it sticking up on one of my photos. I'll send you drawings and measurements if you are interested.

Hi Bob
Whare in Maine are you? The wife and I go through Maine every summer on our way to Nova scotia from Ottawa to see the father-in-law.

Re: Photos of my just-completed WM20

Definitely interested Jeff. I want to fit a 10TT9 to a B31 I'm building, and I'm taking the ports out a bit, to suit goldie valve gear. All ideas are worth considering!

Re: Photos of my just-completed WM20

Jeff,

Is this "Shiney"? WOW, you do nice work.
I am about to make a few pillion riders footrests as I need them also.
I shall send one to you later OK?

Cheers,

Robb

old time traditional dance called "contra" and would like to spend some time in New England.
